That Week In SNL (A Vintage Saturday Night Live Podcast)

It's 1995. We've got Eddie Murphy right before the Nutty Professor. We've got Wes Craven right before the Scream films. We've got them coming together to make a modern vampire horror-comedy. That all doesn't matter though because John Witherspoon and Kadeem Hardison are the real stars of the show.

We're kicking off our sixth season of the show with special guest Tim Barnes to explore the beginning of the show's Silver Age, Lorne's second attempt to reboot the show after returning. It's the first episode for Phil, Dana, Jan, Kevin and Victoria and somehow, with no REAL credited musical guest, also manages to pack in four musical segments. It's got some bangers. It's got some clangers. It's got a format the show wouldn't ever really try again. SNL. It's back, baby.

Join us for a long, winding tale of the podcasting origins that brought us to That Week and 100 episodes thereof! Correspondence from the audience! Questions! Answers! It's all here as we kick back and celebrate the podcast for a bit.

We're going all the way back to the subject of our very first test episode we recorded for the show to give it another go, this time minus a Timmy but adding a William. And really, it's an episode with a lot of firsts: the first Stuart Smalley, the first credited episode for Tim Meadows & Adam Sandler and the whole thing just generally points to the future of the show. It's up to you to decide if that's a good or a bad thing.

Jon Schneider of Saturday Night Network drops by yet again to cover a momentous episode of SNL! At only 7 years of age, Drew Barrymore grabs claim to the youngest host ever and a live call-in vote was conducted to see if Andy Kaufman would ever appear on the show again. We try to place our own vote, share some scary stories of house break-ins, get a remembrance from Gary Kroeger and more!
